Superhero Gangsters

Steve Seeley Presents Batman and Superman Desperados

Steve Seeley is a talented Chicago painter who used his talents to give Batman and Superman some gangster makeovers.

I am no expert on gang signs, but from what I do know, it looks like Superman is repping the bloods, while Batman is fronting in the west coast. There have been a lot of Superhero re-imaginings, but I really like these featured Steve Seeley's illustrations. Check out these interesting prints in the featured gallery.
